ROBERT KNIGHT — There's been loose talk over America's ideological divide becoming so bitter that it could lead to armed conflict. A Democratic congressman quipped that if gun owners resisted with force his proposal to confiscate rifles, it would be a "short war" because the government has nuclear weapons. Right. The feds are going to nuke Texas. The congressman (Eric Swalwell of California) has since taken a good amount of flak for his statement, which he said was a joke.... (more)

ANDREW C. MCCARTHY — Right after Special Counsel Robert Mueller racked up yet another guilty plea to a false-statements charge on Thursday, a friend asked me, "Doesn't this destroy Michael Cohen's credibility as a witness?"
